Typical Uses

Being solvent-free, non-toxic and non-taint, Cretex EP is ideal for use in medical, animal, foodprocessing and working environments.
Typical purposes include repairs to horizontal concrete surfaces, repairs to broken steps, expansion joints, filling pot holes, spalled concrete floors, raising levels and creating ramped edges for wheeled traffic. Cretex EP may also be used as chemical resistant wall rendering.

Suitable substrates

Cretex EP may be applied to most hard porous building materials including concrete, breeze block, brick and stone.

Cretex EP is available in light or dark grey, red & natural as standard. Most colours are available to order subject to minimum quantities – please contact Polycote Technical Helpline.

Preparation

Remove all loose material – wire brushing is advisable. Sweep clean or vacuum.

The surface must be free from grease, oil or contamination. A gas torch will help to remove oil from the surface. If this is not practical, Polycote Degrease IT may be used to clean the area but this must be thoroughly rinsed off and the substrate completely dried, before applying Cretex EP.

Mixing

Thoroughly stir both parts individually before mixing ensuring the resin is evenly dispersed, making sure you get right to the bottom of the container.

Having fully prepared the substrate, simply mix the parts A and B together at a ratio of 1:1 to the quantity required, whether it be a complete unit, or a spoonful for a small repair.

Ensure thorough mixing as an unmixed product will result in a poor or non-cure situation.

Keep all components at room temperature 24 hours before use.

Application

Apply by trowel, or by hand for small isolated areas, wearing suitable protective gloves.

Being resin-rich, Cretex EP has a typically sticky consistency and smoothing may be assisted by wetting the trowel using Polycote Solvent Cleaner as a release agent.

For vertical repairs – where step nosings or expansion joint edges have broken away, the vertical face of the repair material should be supported to prevent slumping.

Suitable sized wooden shuttering should be covered with polythene to reduce adhesion, and should be removed as soon as the material is firm.

Application Temperature
Normal application temperature is between 10˚C and 25˚C. Relative humidity should not exceed 80%. Do not apply at temperatures below 10°C.

Application Thickness
The recommended range of application thickness is from a feather edge to 100mm in one layer.
